I'll Keep You Safe

De: Peter May

Narrado por: Anna Murray, Peter Forbes

From the globally best-selling author of Cast Iron, Coffin Road and The Blackhouse, an explosive new thriller set in the Outer Hebrides.

Husband and wife Niamh and Ruairidh Macfarlane co-own Ranish Tweed: a Hebridean company that weaves its own special variety of Harris cloth, which has become a sought-after brand in the world of high fashion. But when Niamh learns of Ruairidh's affair with Russian designer Irina Vetrov, then witnesses the pair killed by a car bomb in Paris, her life is left in ruins.

Along with her husband's remains, she returns home to the Isle of Lewis bereft. The Paris police have ruled out terrorism and ruled in murder - making Niamh the prime suspect, along with Irina's missing husband, Georgy. And so French Detective Sylvie Braque is sent to the island to look into Niamh's past, unaware of the dangers that await her.

As Braque digs deeper into the couple's history, Niamh herself replays her life with Ruiairidh, searching her memory for those whose grievances might have led to murder. And with each layer revealed and every unexpected twist uncovered, the two women find themselves drawn inexorably closer to a killer who will not turn back.

What was Peter thinking?

I’m a massive fan of Peter May. I read some of the reviews which were mixed and indeed this proved to be the case. While the narration was excellent the ending was somewhat obvious and ridiculous at the same time. If you are looking for a first book to start with Peter May who is generally excellent, this is not the place to start.

The fact that the story was boring and completely unbelievable

I liked the descriptions of the landscape. The rest of it I disliked and found it difficult to believe that it was written by Peter May. I’m usually a great fan.
